"...Because All Suffering Is Sweet to Me"
Envy on the Coast
You're not supposed to know of this
You're not supposed to feel a thing
But I've seen how they tear you apart
The alcohol, the cutlery
The words that cripple
And whispers that sting
Little boys and girls erase themselves
With tenderness, yeah, and ease
She stutters steps through dreams
And to relatives it seems
That history just hasn't happened yet
You're more than this to me
You're worth more than you can see
I don't care what the books said, girl
You didn't die in vain
I found you hanging on their words
From the noose you let them
Tie around your neck
It took thirteen years for you
But you count the rest of the aches and pains
And medicines mean nothing
If you can't feel your skin
Little boys and girls
It seems like hell
But worth more than you can take
She stutters steps through dreams
And to relatives it seems
That history just hasn't happened yet
You're more than this to me
You're worth more than you can see
I don't care what the books said, girl
You didn't die in vain
I know a girl who shares her name
With a guardian
She was a saint
She was a saint (x3)
They say she took her life today
But I don't believe a word they say
She stutters steps through dreams
And to relatives it seems
That history just hasn't happened yet
Cause I know a girl who shares her name
With a guardian
Don't be ashamed
She was a saint
